Very broadly, I am interested in mathematical applications of quantum field theory and string theory to geometry and topology, and vice versa. More specifically, my attention centers on mathematical aspects of string and M-theory compactifications which preserve N=1 supersymmetry in four dimensions. I am also keenly interested in non-abelian dualities of supersymmetric gauge theories in various dimensions.
